| User ReviewTim SManic, incomprehensible art-house shite. A must-see! |
| User ReviewBenjamin JMichel Piccoli goes nuts, and we like it! |
| User ReviewMats VOne of my favourite films. If you like High School Musical you'll enjoy this. |
| User ReviewGraeme WA cult classic. Fairly much an anarchistic revolt against the modern world. |
| User Reviewalex fFrench masterpiece, anarchic movie, spoken in the fantasy language "themrocanic", understandable anyway! cult!!! |
| User ReviewSilke BVery, very disturbing. First I thought I had chosen an awkward language on the DVD-menu, then I found out what's about the language. I thought I might have been distracted during the first minutes and the story is hard to get because of that. Then I found out what's it about. Amazing, I don't think any major studio, regisseur, or actor would make such a movie today. They wouldn't dare. |
| User Reviewbill bstarts off like one of those wordless eric sykes comedies, but then throws in a touch of incest and a smattering of cannibalism. seriously apocalyptic slapstick. |
| User ReviewRyan DAmazing french satire of mundane rituals and the daily grind. After a scuffle with his boss, a mild painter morphs into a wild, screaming, violent neanderthal. He loses all social inhibitions and soon gains a following. This is a hilarious movie, filled with many surreal gags. First off, it's filmed entirely in a made up language. One man's job is to sharpen pencils, break them and sharpen them again. After stealing supplies from a construction site, the Painter literally turns his apartment into a cave, then smashes all his possessions to the ground. I found this to be a great escapist film, but can't recommend it to everyone. Turns out not everyone's into dark comedies filmed in gibberish...(go figure). If you feel it meets your sensibilities seek it out. |
| User ReviewRoger Rweird as heck, but pretty fascinating. It says quite a bit about society, without actually saying anything. |
